HOGARTH - JUDGES, 1758. The Bench. Satirical engraving by William Hogarth, 1758
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into the courtroom of 18th-century England through this print by William Hogarth. In "The Bench". Hogarth's satirical genius comes to life as he humorously depicts a scene from the English legal system. The image showcases a group of judges seated on a grand bench, adorned in their traditional robes and wigs. Their serious expressions are juxtaposed with one judge who appears to be dozing off, perhaps indicating the monotony of court proceedings. Hogarth's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving – from the intricate engravings on their quills to the mid-reading spectacles perched upon their noses. Each character exudes personality and adds depth to this caricatured portrayal. Through his artistry, Hogarth cleverly critiques the flaws within society and institutions like the judiciary system. His use of satire invites viewers to reflect upon power dynamics and human follies that transcend time. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document capturing an era when justice was meted out by men in powdered wigs and flowing robes. It offers us a glimpse into an England long gone but forever immortalized through Hogarth's keen eye for detail. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only Hogarth's talent but also his contribution towards shaping
